The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 381 Untitled
Franchise?

Li Chunfeng and Tian Shiwen were both surprised and excited. Is the enfeoffment that has been preached for so long finally about to start?
Li Chunfeng was Taishi Ling who paid more attention to political matters, so he asked, "Which five are they? Where are they sealed?"

Chen Jingke shook his head and said: "This matter is still a top secret and cannot be disclosed to the outside world. I tell you this, but I hope you will prepare early."

"After the decree of enfeoffment is issued, immediately visit the five princes and kings, and do our best to help them build the feudal state."

"Ask for money, give people, give things... In short, no matter what the cost, build their feudal country well."

Tian Shiwen frowned and said: "I know that the real person wants to create a template to attract other princes and kings. But is it too much of a loss? What if the subsequent princes and kings also ask us to spare no effort to help?"

Chen Jingke said proudly: "It seems that Guanzhu Tian's thoughts have not changed... Who are we? Taoism, the most famous school in the world. We have the most talents and abundant capital..."

"When the princes and kings were still nobles in the Tang Dynasty, we begged them. When they went to the fiefs and became princes and kings, they begged us."

Tian Shiwen was stunned for a moment, showing a thoughtful expression, and then suddenly realized: "That's right, how could I have forgotten that."

"During the Tang Dynasty, they were nobles, and their words and deeds represented the imperial court. Our Taoism is naturally subject to them."

"Once enfeoffed, they will withdraw from the center in order to avoid suspicion. After losing their influence on the imperial court, they will no longer be able to restrain us."

"Instead, it's their turn to need my Taoism to provide talents and even various resources to help them build a feudal country..."

"It's still a real person who is smart and able to understand this point, otherwise we will miss many opportunities."

Chen Jingke ignored his flattery, and continued: "The initiative is already in our hands, but the princes and kings are also very confused about how to build a feudal state."

"If we put forward conditions from the beginning, they are likely to refuse directly and exclude my Taoism."

"So these five models are very important to us. We must take them and do them well, so that the princes and kings will know the benefits of cooperating with Taoism."

"Wait until the second batch of encapsulation starts, and if you want our help, you need certain conditions."

Tian Shiwen and Li Chunfeng said together: "A real person has a good opinion."

Chen Jingke changed the subject, and said: "The most taboo of being a person and doing things is that there is no sense of proportion, especially for a big force. Once it crosses the line, it is easy to attract the unanimous targeting of other forces."

"So when facing the vassal states, there are a few bottom lines that we must abide by, and we must never touch them."

Li Chunfeng looked solemn, and said, "Please tell the truth."

Chen Jingke said: "Don't meddle in the government affairs of the vassal states, and don't control too much land... Help them build a good state, and we will fully shrink our strength and return to the simplest religion."

After a little thought, Li Chunfeng understood the reason, and said: "A real person has a good opinion, this is indeed very important."

Tian Shiwen was a little puzzled, and said, "Why do we help them build princely states? What can we get in the end?"

Without Chen Jingke opening his mouth, Li Chunfeng explained, "What we want is the power to preach, and belief. As long as the local people believe in Taoism, all our investment is worthwhile."

Only then did Tian Shiwen understand, and said: "So that's the case, I understand. I also agree with this point. I only need the right to preach in Taoism, and I don't want anything else."

Chen Jingke said again: "If there are princes and kings who want to introduce Buddhism, we don't need to object. But there is a prerequisite, that branch of Buddhism must recognize Lao Tzu's Hu Jing and Buddha is the way."

Tian Shiwen said: "Then what if some princes and kings don't abide by the agreement and introduce a branch of Buddhism that hates us?"

Chen Jingke smiled slightly and said: "My Taoism is the most disciplined. When meeting people who don't follow the rules, it is also obligatory to teach them what the rules are, so as not to lead them astray."

"Haha..." Tian Shiwen laughed loudly and said, "Well said, what to do, the real person should come up with the regulations, and I, Lou Guandao, fully support it."

Li Chunfeng also said: "In my quiet cloud view, only real people follow the lead."

Chen Jingke nodded very relieved, but immediately realized that something was wrong.

What is it that I follow the lead?Didn't you just say to let you act on your own, why did you listen to me?

Well, it was tricked by these two people again.

With his relationship with the royal family, he will definitely be able to take advantage of everything, such as knowing the distribution list in advance.

For example, no matter who gets the title, give him some face.By negotiating with him, more benefits can be obtained.

Moreover, Zixiao Temple is the leader of Taoism, and can mobilize the resources of the entire Taoism more conveniently.

In short, it is much better for each faction to talk about it by himself.Even if several sects unite to negotiate with the princes and kings, the effect is not as good as his appearance.

But he doesn't want to get involved in this matter, he has done enough for Taoism, and he doesn't want to worry about this matter anymore.

In the future, he will devote more energy to the construction of science, to lay a solid foundation for science as soon as possible, and then strive to promote and train talents.

No time to worry about that.

But after thinking about it, he didn't refuse in the end. He is not interested in this matter, but there is someone in the family who is interested.

Wu Shu is a person who is unwilling to be lonely. If you don't find something for her to do, she will find something for you instead.

She can still control herself for a day or two, and there will always be problems after a long time.

So simply find a space for her to exert her energy, saving her from getting sick from being too idle.

After sending the two away, he found Wu Shu and told him about it: "Jingyun Temple and Louguan Taoism have agreed to let us take the lead in doing it..."

"I believe that other sects will not object to this matter, and then this matter will be handed over to you..."

Wu Shu naturally knew why he took on this job, gently stroked his stomach, and said sweetly:

"Thank you real person."

She has already shown her pregnancy, and most pregnant women will wear looser clothes to cover it up out of love for beauty and comfort.

Contrary to others, she wears clothes that accentuate her abdomen. She was only four months old, but her clothes make her look the same as five or six months old.

And he likes to touch his abdomen with his hands at every turn, and he also shows a kind and happy look on his face.

But one thing to say, the effect of her approach is obvious, Sun Simiao is very happy, and the others respect her even more.

Affected by her, Chen Jingke always touches subconsciously when the two are alone.

Naturally, this time was no exception. Seeing her stroking her belly non-stop, he also walked over and rubbed it gently.

Then he touched and found that Wu Shu changed his target and started to touch him.

The old husband and wife know each other very well, and they can understand the slightest movement of the other party, not to mention that the signal is so obvious.

Chen Jingke held her cheeks and rubbed her cheeks, squeezed his throat and said, "Have a good fight tonight."

"Pfft." Wu Shu laughed out loud after being teased by him, gave him a light slap and said, "Where did you learn these indecent words?"

Chen Jingke said in surprise: "Why are you not serious? This is the secret code of the card player. Ask someone to come out to play cards."

"There is another saying, don't fight until dawn... Where did you think?"

Wu Shu's focus was obviously different from that of normal people. She was not shy or anything, but asked curiously: "Then what if someone is late?"

Chen Jingke smiled and said, "All the flowers I've been waiting for are gone."

"How well do you play the Kua Ren card?"

"You've played your cards really well."

"Is it a bad fight?"

"My mind is broken."

Wu Shu nodded, and suddenly said: "You played your cards really well."

Chen Jingke said with a smile: "The imitation is not like, there is no sense of joy."

Wu Shu glanced at him, and said again: "You played your cards really well."

Chen Jingke shook his head and said, "You learn from me...you are really good at playing cards."

Wu Shu rolled his eyes and said, "Idiot."

Chen Jingke crossed his hips and said unwillingly: "Why are you scolding people, you are so unqualified..."

Then he touched Wu Shu's belly and said, "Baby, don't learn from your mother, let's be a good boy."

Wu Shu slapped him, and changed the subject: "You take care of military and state affairs every day, and you also have to take care of housework."

Chen Jingke said indifferently: "Isn't there you, I believe in you."

Wu Shu said: "This matter is up to you."

Chen Jingke asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Wu Shu laughed and said, "If you don't speak again, someone will become an old lady?"

Chen Jingke was puzzled at first, then slapped his forehead suddenly and said: "Oh, look, I'm confused. The third sister seems to be in her prime this year, why did she forget about her marriage?"

"Don't worry, I promise to help her find a good family... But you should first ask her if she likes someone. After all, you are looking for a husband for her, so you should ask her opinion."

Wu Shu said helplessly: "Third Sister's marriage mother has already settled for her, don't worry about it, I'm talking about Yihe."

Chen Jingke was puzzled and said: "Isn't Yihe going to marry Zhou Xiang... By the way, didn't Yihe say that she will get married when her father's three-year filial piety ends in August? It's already October, why hasn't there been any movement?"

Wu Shu said weakly: "You are the head of the family, how can they get married if you don't speak?"

Chen Jingke scratched his head and said, "Is there such a rule? Both of them are free agents. Shouldn't they make their own decisions and then send us invitations?"

Wu Shu had already given up completely, and said, "Okay, don't worry about it so much, let me do it. When I need you, I will find you again."

Chen Jingke complained: "Isn't our family always like this? What are you doing so complicated?"

Wu Shu got up and said, "Okay, okay, blame me...I'm going to discuss this matter with Zhou Xiang now, you can do your own thing."

Said angrily and left.

Chen Jingke was a little confused, wasn't it good just now?Why do you suddenly have a big opinion on me?
Thinking about it carefully, I don't think there is a mistake there.

In the end, it can only be attributed to the emotional instability of pregnant women, yes, it must be the case.

It wasn't until that night, when Wu Shujiao gasped and said to him again, 'You played your cards really well', that he knew what the problem was.

……

As for the first round of confinement targets, in fact, only five quotas have been determined, and the specifics have not yet been fully determined.

Li Chengqian gnawed on a pear and said, "The number of the first batch of five places was not decided randomly, but after careful consideration."

Chen Jingke also took a bite of the big pear and said, "Is there anything special about it? Tell me about it."

Li Chengqian's surgery wound has healed, and now only the bone wound remains.As the saying goes, a hundred days of injury, he still needs to lie down for a few more days.

But as long as you don't move that foot, you can only move.The reason why he hasn't been discharged from the hospital until now is that there are some things that he hasn't considered clearly, so he hides here and pretends to be dead.

"Three of the five quotas belong to the royal family, and two belong to nobles. In the royal family, one is my uncle, one is my brother, and one is a son of the clan."

"Among the two nobles, one is the Guanlong noble, and the other is a new noble who was awarded purely for his military achievements... Basically every group has chosen one, so that no one will say that one favors the other."

Chen Jingke suddenly realized, and said: "So...it's really troublesome to even consider this. Fortunately, I don't have to worry about such things."

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "You are a fool, you are a fool... Now that four places have been determined, it is still unclear which one my brother should choose."

Chen Jingke said: "I know this. The uncles chose King Xu Kang, the clan chose Gaomigong Li Xiaocha, and the nobles also chose the two who have retired to the second line..."

"Only your brother is left... There are so many sons of the saint, so just choose one."

Li Xiaocha is the son of Li Shentong, whose original title was King Gaomi.However, as the second son, he is not eligible for enfeoffment, even if he is the son of Li Shentong.

Otherwise, how much land there is is not enough for the clan.

This was decided after discussion among the ministers. The emperor's brothers and sons were divided according to the title of prince.

Those who are close to the clan, such as Li Daozong, Li Xiaogong, and Li Daoyan, are entrusted according to the rank of county king.

In case of someone like Li Shentong who died early, only the eldest son would be enfeoffed, and the other heirs would not be eligible to participate in the enfeoffment even if they had titles.

Unless he made great contributions, or the emperor made a special order.

Li Xiaocha is the second son and has no qualifications for enfeoffment.

But this time, the enfeoffment had to choose a representative from the clan, so naturally Li Shentong was the first choice. After all, he was Li Shimin's number one die-hard fan.

Li Shimin trusts and takes care of him very much.

His eldest son Li Daoyan is a general in the court and is sitting in the south of the Yangtze River, so naturally he cannot be easily divided.

Li Shimin issued a special decree to seal Li Xiaocha, but he only promoted his title of King Gaomi to Duke Gaomi.

Even so, it was a huge bargain for him.

It is Li Shimin's son who is still undecided now, and it is still unclear which one to seal.

Chen Jingke couldn't figure it out. You have so many sons, can't you seal them up casually?

Li Chengqian explained: "The fief of the first group of people is in the southwest of the Wonu Kingdom. It is said that the environment is not bad. The land is fertile and rainy, suitable for farming."

"However, due to the limited development potential due to the geographical location, the first batch of people can't be too talented, that would be a waste, and they can't be too bad..."

"The other four positions were selected according to this standard, but when it comes to our generation, Yeye is a bit reluctant..."

"Crack..." Chen Jingke took another bite of the pear, and said, "There's no need to hesitate, there are several scumbags among your brothers, just throw one in the past."

Li Chengqian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so Chen Jingke dared to say that in front of him.

But after hearing what Chen Jingke said, he suddenly had an idea, saying: "Aye actually understands this truth, but after all, he is his flesh and blood, so he is inevitably hesitant."

"It's not convenient for my mother to speak on this matter, and the other ministers are even more afraid to speak..."

"You have a special status, and you are stupid and bold, why don't you go and persuade Aye, he should listen to you."
